Audio appearing too early
I've got an 003 on a Windows7 64 bit machine running PT8. I used this setup fine for a long time (on the same machine, starting with PT7.4), but haven't done much with PT lately since I started using Reaper.
Anyways, I'm doing a session in ProTools now, and I noticed that things didn't seem to line up correctly. All of my recorded audio was sounding slightly off. So, I put up a mic, played back a recording of a snare sample, and recorded it from the studio monitors onto another track. When I look at the recorded audio, it ends up being earlier than the original sound, as if there is some sort of latency compensation which is out of whack. I don't remember this happening in previous sessions. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a setting somewhere that would cause the recorded audio to not line up correctly? The tracks have no plugins on them. I'm recording into an API A2D through SPDIF. I also noticed that when using the 003 inputs the audio sounds early as well (although I haven't actually tested this directly yet, I've only sample tested through the API A2D) |

Re: Audio appearing too early
Are you on 8.0.5? I know that one of the earlier versions of 8 had this problem.

Re: Audio appearing too early
You know what, I'm not sure, it's been a long time since I've done any tracking in PT, so I'll have to check it out and see.

Re: Audio appearing too early
There was a big thread on this last year. 8.0.4 was a timing nightmare. I never tried 8.0.5 as I went to 9. 8.0.4cs2 seemed to fix the issue at 44.1, but 48K was still a mess. I seem to remember that 8.0.3 and earlier were okay, but knowing which version you have will tell that tale.

I'm getting a new interface soon for Reaper, and if I need to do more ProTools projects, I might just end up upgrading to version 9 or 10 if I have to, but I hate the fact that it costs so much, and I'm going to have to pay even more so that my plugins will work. Reaper doesn't care if my WUP was up 3 years ago, they still work just fine! |

Re: Audio appearing too early
That's the converter delay of the A2D. Pro Tools LE cannot compensate for that.

Re: Audio appearing too early
Good call, I'll have to test it with the built in pre's on the 003 and see if the same thing happens, but the delay is so small at this point that I'm not worried about it.
